Animal Bedding

Products - Agrisorb® Animal Bedding

Industrial Hemp Animal Bedding is produced from the soft core of the hemp plant stem and is the most absorbent bedding material on the market. This unique product features superior qualities to other bedding currently available such as wood or straw.

Economical and Ecological Benefits

Very high absorbency
This allows the bedding material to stay dry longer than straw or wood shavings. Hemp bedding will absorb four times its own weight.

Low Dust and Low Palatability
These two qualities are critical to limiting respiratory and other health risks in horses.

Chemical Free
Industrial Hemp requires no pesticides or herbicides when grown which prevents chemical residues being transferred to the Animals.

Economical
The longer life of Hemp bedding immediately translates into dollar savings through reductions in labour, transport, and storage.

How to use Agrisorb® in a stable:

Step Four
Remove the manure daily by simply digging out the effected spots. Replace with fresh Agrisorb as required. You will appreciate having to only replace the small effected areas.

Healthier for your Horse - Cheaper to Use

In Europe, 40,000 tonnes of hemp bedding is sold every year, commanding a price premium over other available beddings. For the first time in Australia, Agrisorb® Horse Bedding is now available.

Agrisorb® protects the respiratory health of your horses while improving stable management, these benefits include:

• Low dust
• High absorbency
• Less labour to service
• Reduced ammonia smell
• Less transport costs
• Less storage costs
• No chemical residues

Hemp absorbs four times (400%) its own weight, compared to wood shavings (250%) and straw (225%).

Save Money

Hemp’s unusually high absorbency properties means that only half to one new bales should be needed every 10 days. This means less storage, less deliveries and less paperwork.

Labour Cost Savings: An Agrisorb® bed is quick and easy to maintain, staying drier and lasting longer than conventional materials.

Hemp’s clean, light colour makes fouling easy to spot. Manure should be removed as soon as practicable to minimise contamination.

Easy Disposal: Agrisorb® horse bedding creates only a small manure heap, which rots down into a superior quality garden compost in just a few months. Wood shavings takes much longer to decompose containing chemical residues including tannins.

Your Horse Breathes Easier - A Healthier Horse

Independent trials have found that Agrisorb® bedding absorbs the ammonia odour.

Agrisorb® contains negilgible dust and spores compared to conventional bedding, providing a cleaner stable environment. This is particularly important for horses suffering respiratory illness. More importantly, hemp helps to prevent such problems from developing.
